HELP mangos crashes on startup

[michiell]

Hello, i need some help.

As the topic said, my mangos crashes on startup; this is not only on mangos but on all servers. What i did was, i downloaded mysql the server, and made the maps folder. I do not know what i did wrong althought i found on the internet something about that the password and username must be the same of the server and mysql. I know nothing about that so please explain if u know the awnser.

specs:

(new pc)

windows7

quad core 3.0

1tb

4gram

If you read the wiki: http://getmangos.eu/wiki/Compile_MaNGOS_On_Windows you will get it working i suppose, you need maps,vmaps,dbc.

There are extractors included in mangos for maps/vmaps/dbc

well the odd thing is that i added the maps and dbc folders, i heared from other people that the vmaps do not have to be included, and also when i make a screenshot very fast i see a batfile with something likee: the passwords dont match, ill post a link to the screenshot later. im at school atm.

Mysql password mismatch

[Schmoozerd]

you must get a file named server.log in which you will be able to read the errror.

If the window closes to fast, go to the directory in which your mangosd.exe is,

open a cmd (or git bash here) there

and typein mangosd.exe

so, i tried what you said, i runned it from cmd, which did not work it said can not find server.conf while it was right there. on the other hand i found that when i made a quick screenshot the conf file was found. it has no errors on it but just stops. i dont know why, also the the restarter i use says it just crashes. im not sure how to upload aprintscreen so ill just say it ...

both windows say: using cofiguratoin file mangosd.conf.

Database: 127.0.0.1 3306;root;mangos;mangos

and here i think i know whats wrong.

it says 3306

while im running my mysql on port 4588 as 3306 gave an error: this port is already in use

[michiell]

I got it,

i closed skype and it worked on port 3306

thx for the help.

regards, michiell

my respect.

!!!!

so, i got the server past that problem but now i got a new 1

when i run mangosd.exe it closes and when i open it 3x it will let me read it (there will be an end now button but when i dont press it its just open to read)

it says that my ./maps/0004331.map is not compactiple version <outdated?> please create new using ad.exe

correct *.map files not found in path ./maps or *.vmap/*vmdir files in ETC......

please help. these threads dont seem to work for me

i used 2 different wows to get the maps from

can u maybe upload your 0004331.map?

[Skirnir]

Make sure you extract from the correct client 3.3.5a (EU, RUS or US Client) and make sure your config file points to the correct data folder. Uploading just one map file would not help because MaNGOS checks all files inside the folder.

[michiell]

well, im taking it from engb wow 3.3.5a so that cant be the problem.. right?

also, it only says its that 1 file

[Skirnir]

And you are sure that this file exists? And that your config points to the directory containing the map files? If the file exists, your config file is incorrect. MaNGOS only points to the first missing file
